Facebook has published its latest “enforcement report”, which details how many posts and accounts it took action on between October 2018 and March 2019. Prevalence
For some types of content, such as child sex abuse imagery, violence and terrorist propaganda, the report estimates how often such content was actually seen by people on Facebook. The report said that out of every 10,000 pieces of content viewed on Facebook:

about 14 views were of nudity

25 views were of violence or graphic content

fewer than three views were of child abuse imagery or terrorist propaganda

Overall, about 5% of the monthly active users on Facebook were fake accounts.
